Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell Deep Diver UV, 1/4oz Green / Yellow / Orange fishing lure #8505

Green, yellow, and orange hues blend across the scaled finish of this specimen, which features a specialized UV-reactive coating that glows intensely in low-light conditions. Identified by product code 8505, the lure measures 2 1/2" (6.3cm) and weighs 1/4oz (7g). Crafted by Cotton Cordell in the USA, this floating model is designed with an internal rattle system to generate sound while being worked through the water. The clear, elongated diving lip allows the lure to reach depths of 5.9-8.2ft (1.8-2.5m) when casting, or up to 19.7ft (6m) during trolling applications. This specific example is in excellent condition, rated at 5/5, with its original hardware and sharp treble hooks firmly attached. Anglers targeting perch, pike, or zander will note the high-contrast fluorescent belly and the distinct red eye that serves as a focused strike point.
